sheet metal fabrication
What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of transforming flat metal sheets (typically ranging from 0.15mm to 10mm in thickness) into various shaped parts and structures, with common raw materials being flat metal sheets.
Applications: This method is used to create enclosures, chassis, brackets, stamped features, and more. It is also utilized for decorative purposes to create patterns on metal sheets.
Industry: Sheet metal fabrication is crucial across multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics.
Sheet Metal Fabrication Capabilities
  • Forming and Bending
    Forming and bending is the process of shaping metal sheets into desired forms using presses and molds. This technique is suitable for various metal materials, enabling high-precision bending and forming, and is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries.
  • Punching
    Punching is an efficient metal processing technology that creates holes, cuts shapes, or forms profiles in metal sheets using punches and dies. It is suitable for mass production, ensuring product consistency and precision, and is widely used in the manufacturing of electronic and automotive components.
  • Laser Cutting
    Laser cutting uses high-energy laser beams to precisely cut metal materials, suitable for complex shapes and intricate cuts. This technology achieves high precision with minimal thermal impact, suitable for various materials, and is widely used in machinery, electronics, and furniture industries.

What Finishes are Available for Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Our finishing options are designed to enhance both the appearance and functionality of your parts, ensuring they meet specific aesthetic and operational requirements.
  • Bead Blasting

    Description: A process that involves propelling tiny beads at high pressure onto the surface to eliminate burrs and imperfections, resulting in a smooth finish.

    Notes: Ideal as a preliminary treatment for painting and dyeing, creating a non-reflective surface that prepares the metal for anodizing.

    Final Result: Produces a slightly textured feel; achieves a uniform, matte or satin-like appearance.

    Bead Blasting
  • Anodising (Type II)

    Description: An electrochemical process that enhances corrosion resistance and allows for dyeing in various colors.

    Available Colors: Options include Black, Blue, Gold, Green, Grey, Natural, Orange, Red, Yellow, Purple, and Custom RAL colors.

    Notes: Type II coatings may wear over time and can fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight.

    Anodising
  • Powder Coating

    Description: A durable color finish applied through a heat-cured process, providing a tougher and more consistent finish compared to traditional painting methods.

    Notes: Suitable for both aluminium and steel, offering excellent durability and aesthetic appeal.

    Powder Coating
  • Electropolishing

    Description: An electrochemical process that cleans and brightens metal surfaces while reducing the risk of corrosion.

    Final Result: Yields a brighter appearance with enhanced corrosion resistance.

    Electropolishing
  • Zinc Coating / Galvanising

    Description: Involves applying a layer of zinc to metal surfaces through electrodeposition to prevent rust and corrosion.

    Final Result: Significantly increases corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the metal components.

    Zinc Coating Galvanising
  • Custom Finishes

    Description: For custom finishes selected in our quoting system, a manual review is required, typically taking 1-2 business days.

    Notes: Submitting a custom request for manual review does not guarantee a quote.
